Wind Speed Accuracy Near the Coastal Boundaries of the Mediterranean Sea

Abstract

The atmospheric model grid from NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) products tend to include land values over the ocean in near coastal regions. This is due to improper land-masks of the NWP products. causing serious errors in wind speed for coastal applications. Possible corrections are introduced to overcome such problems.
